Join Dieu Donné virtually for artist Sam Moyer in conversation with Director of Artistic Projects & Master Collaborator Tatiana Ginsberg.
2024–25 Lab Grant Residency Artist Sam Moyer will discuss her experience working at Dieu Donné to develop her first series of handmade paper works. In her series Soft Mods, she used alternating layers of translucent abaca and pigmented cotton, in shades of Payne’s grey. Her large-scale window installation for the Hill Art Foundation used an open lattice structure to allow light to come through and interact with Isamu Noguchi’s sculpture Woman with Holes II. Working intuitively, Moyer manipulated paper pulp in a sculptural way, creating images that seem composed of light and shadow.
